James Dewar (1874): Thermos flask principle
Like in a thermos flask the heat can
be stored for a long time.
This allows to operate the collector
with high efficiency even in times
with low solar irradiation or at high
temperatures.
Due to the material (pure glass
tube) the design is very durable.
Vacuum
is the best physical insulator !
Double wall glass tubes
+ cylindrical evacuated
absorbers
Copper, steel or stainless steel collector tubes + CPC reflector
2013 11 Rolf Meiner, r.meissner@ritter-xl-solar.com
CPC = Compound Parabolic Concentrator
Direct irradiation
Best possible solar yields at all weather conditions.
Sidewise irradiation Diffuse irradiation
